Volko Q American Series v1.1.1 [WiN, MacOSX]

Volko Audio has digitally recreated the sounds of the API 500* series with the Q American Series of three plug-ins that offer a combination of high quality sound and modern user interface.

QA, QB and QG compliment each other and eliminate phase and artifact problems that arise when linking together different plug-ins. Their interface is intuitive, user friendly and easy on the eyes, letting you work tirelessly for hours.

The plug-ins are optimized to keep your CPU under low stress, while still maintaining top quality sound output.

QA Features:

Low Frequency Shelving/Peaking.
Five selectable center frequencies: 50Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, 300Hz and 400Hz.
Mid Frequency Peaking.
Five selectable center frequencies: 400Hz, 800Hz, 1.5kHz, 3kHz and 5kHz.
High Frequency Shelving/Peaking.
Five selectable center frequencies: 5kHz, 7kHz, 10kHz, 12.5kHz and 15kHz.
Band Pass Filter: Fixed bandwidth: 50Hz to 15kHz.
The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB.

QB Features:

Low Frequency Shelving/Peaking.
Seven selectable center frequencies: 30Hz, 40Hz, 50Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, 300Hz and 400Hz.
Low Mid Frequency Peaking.
Seven selectable center frequencies: 75Hz, 150Hz, 180Hz, 240Hz, 500Hz, 700Hz and 1kHz.
High Mid Frequency Peaking.
Seven selectable center frequencies: 800Hz, 1.5kHz, 3kHz, 5kHz, 8kHz, 10kHz and 12.5kHz.
High Frequency Shelving/Peaking.
Selectable filter type: Shelving or Peaking. Seven selectable center frequencies: 2.5kHz, 5kHz, 7kHz, 10kHz, 12.5kHz, 15kHz and 20kHz.
The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB.

QG Features:

The QG plug-in is a ten-band fixed frequency graphic equalizer divided into one octave increments.
The center frequencies of each band are set at 31Hz, 63Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 8kHz and 16kHz.
The amount of boost or attenuation is continuously variable from -12 dB to 12 dB on all bands.

QA, QB and QG Common Features:

Extremely High Processing Efficiency.
"Proportional Q" narrows filter bandwidth.
Proprietary topology which is optimized for low latency, low noise and high dynamic range.
Built-in reference-quality upsampling algorithm which can be enabled at sampling frequencies 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz to achieve bell shape symmetry at high frequencies.
Supports sampling frequencies up to 384 kHz.
Clickless parameter update.
